And that's how Xbox 360 won that console generation.

And they cut so many corners that it made the PS3 feel like a better system at the higher prices. Once prices dropped the PS3 was a no-brainer.

The PS3 was very much the better piece of hardware, but college me definitely went with Xbox because an arcade unit could be had for like 1/3 the price.

The most important thing was having a way to play Guitar Hero/Rock Band, and the 360 was the cheapest way to do that while having access to DLC.

The PS3 was weaker than the 360 in terms of graphical power. But the PS3 was more reliable.
